Ok, everyone, lets see if we cant work this one into some type of change: You can add your thoughts on this in the comment section at the bottom of the post...

ISSUES MAILCOUNT
NON BINDING
DOCUMENT TO BE AMENDED: ARTICLE, SECTION, PARAGRAPH P-603, M-38
WHEREAS: Following route adjustments caused by mailcount results, times over the hourly division points are not included as "bank time"
BE IT RESOLVED:
that any over the required amount for a route classification be designated as bank time towards the next hourly increase.
INTENT OR REASON FOR CHANGE
Based on the current method of time accounting following route adjustments due to mailcounts, ot is possible that the affected route could be working within seconds of an hourly increase, and be forced to work that extra 59 minutes per week until the next route evaluation. Given that regular mail counts occur annually, it is possible that the extra almost 52 hours of work in nonpay status will affect the 2080 worknours standard. The present system almost guarantees that all carriers start off the new evaluation with at least some non-pay time, from a few seconds to an hour. This defeats the purpose of the mailcount as it relates to a fair days pay for a fair days work.
Never doubt that a small, group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has..
